The Mud Room

Yesterday I stopped in to the Mud Room before it closes and is renovated and will be reopened under new management. I had my usual dark roast and I bought a couple of bags of beans to have some of the great coffee for a few more weeks.

Since the school where I work moved across the harbour to Dartmouth, I haven’t been in very much at all, but I miss the friendly atmosphere and the strong coffee.

Last Friday someone stole the tip jar from the counter, so if you go here, tip a little bit more than you usually do to make up for the loss.

I’m very much a creature of habit and just about every day I have a cup of coffee (and sometimes a muffin or cherry cheesecake swirl) around the corner from the office at The Mud Room. They have the best coffee (Fair Trade and Organic, of course), good food and great people there. When I don’t bring my lunch my fallback is the excellent Veggie Chili that they have or one of the soups or sandwiches.

One odd fact is that even though the building is on an adjacent block and up one street, it has the same address as the office. I thought that blocks were supposed to be consistent in cities…

The Mud Room is a small, but comfortable place crammed in the lobby area of an older building. When I come in I don’t even have to say what coffee I want in my mug (but I do, even though they know) as I always get the dark roast. Mmmm. Dark and strong and delicious.
